So.... close .
Today's game to hype: 
I'm not an avid God of War gamer so I don't have much prior knowledge of the series to help with hyping Ascension. I've played 1 and some of 2, but never got around to starting the 3rd v_v. Though I must say that Ascension is looking fantastic. The GoW3 engine seems to have been tweaked considerably, especially the physics, and the addition of multiplayer seems like it'll be a very fun experience. Anyway...
"The story will focus on a younger Kratos, driven mad after being tricked into killing his wife and child by the god Ares and now seeking revenge. Joystiq confirms "players will be introduced to a more human Kratos than ever before" with director Todd Papy stating that the game will be "giving people a look at Kratos' human side so fans can relate to him better and understand some of the stuff he went through when he was younger." Papy also confirmed that Kratos will have the "Blades of Chaos" and that the story takes place after Kratos sold his soul to Ares. "
... XD Thank you Wiki.
Looking forward to more gameplay footage that'll hopefully be shown during Sony's press conference :D.
